I'd like to believe that but the image merchants have ruined her hair several times and some of her footwear has been so bad that it reminded me of the dark days of the 1970s. Shouldn't grumble though, we superannuated 1970s egalitarians can see through the bumflufferies to the real woman underneath. ;O)
the soft and fluffy growth of hair on the chin of an adolescent and by extension, trivial, fatuous, not serious.
"You're on two per cent, two and a half, maybe even three. Depends on the usual bumflufferies. It's not about the money with you and me is it, Gal? It's the charge, it's the bolt, it's the buzz, it's the sheer fuck off-ness of it all." (Sexy Beast)
There will be many a neocon and deep stater who now wish they HADN'T fixed the 2020 election, because they spent 4 years after that harassing, deriding, even shooting at DJT, to prevent his return.
It was a 4 year Hollywood training montage, where *everything* they did made him that bit stronger, more resolute and more aware of their dirty tricks catalogue.
After Act 1, where the hero initially shines, but is defeated by dirty tricks, we had Act 2, where the evil guys ruled, but our hero endured and gathered his resources and friends, performed his training montage.
As Simplicius was saying, it's a clown show. I'm glad Zelensky showed up in his method actor Che Guervera costume, acting like a borish entitled beggar. He's their mascot.
It was inevitable that a sane person would not be able to stand it anymore, blow up and say out loud that he is a joke. Macron, Starmer, Kallas, Ursula, Trudeau, etc.. all of them, are freaking ridiculous, and to be scorned and laughed at.
Yes, we see you pretending that you are important and prestigious. No, we don't believe that you are. These people need to be made fun of, out loud, and often.
we were glad last year we finally got rid of Rutte as prime minister (3 periods, 12 years, ugh) and his 'promotion' to NATO chief is quite incomprehensible. unless NATO only wants to be an administrative entity...?
For 14 years we had to endure Mark Rutte. Is very good at debating, has great dossier knowledge and as a negotiator, but has absolutely no vision. Numerous times that his memory left him during those years, that he had no recollection. A disgrace in the way he handled MH17, already the Russophobia was clearly visible. He, as a history teacher, also blamed the Russians for the BUK missiles killing 2 people in Poland as Russia has started this brutal and unprovoked was of aggression (sick). In his role of secretary general he even pushed up his warmonger anti-Russia rhetoric. It is pathetic to listen too (I have to force myself). The other day he was blaming the Russians for incidents happening at factories in Europe, dead of several people and the threat of Russia. Of course no evidence is ever supplied. And let's assume for a moment the Russian's have a hand, so Putin (always Putin) kills a couple of people, so he is bad. We kill tens of thousands and we are the good guys?
It's like a plane crash: everybody turns their head towards the plane crash and the number of people died in the crash, but nobody looks at the number of casualties in traffic.
Note: since 1971 around 150000 people died in plane crashes while around 75 million died in a car accident (currently 1.3million per year globally)
That the gherkins and pricks feign confidence and competence is obvious: they are Potemkin leaders.
However, "Collective Biden" has not gone away and I wonder what messages are being exchanged between that side in the US Civil War and these fucking European ghouls and avatars passing themselves off as leaders.
What do you think? I fear much violent flailing about, black ops, false flags and even attempts on DJT and his administration as it becomes more obvious these avatars for ancient, embedded UK and European layers of power and rule are fucked.
Will they take us all down or fuck off somewhere nice with their stolen loot and leave us all to rot?
These straussians are set on exploiting Americans and US resources to achieve full spectrum talmudic dominance. The ongoing Ukrainian tragedy is a fruit of zionists rabid hatred of Slavs. The Nuland-Kagan putsch in 2014 was run in a direct and tight collaboration with the Ukrainian Nazi Party Svoboda.
The shameless jewish tribe keeps its whining museums open as a reminder of jewish lack of honor and jewish shamelessness.
You forgot “a few stolen sex slaves” they’ll need in the bunkers, though. And various meds, vintage wines, etc. As Nuland, their very own Cruella said: “F*** the EU”
Most likely the former, although the latter is still plausible. Regardless the average pleb in Europe will get binned, although those who were against all of this can at least give a middle finger to those who refused too and seduced into the hysteria and bloodlust of it all.
I can see the bankers wanting to take out DJT and his merry band of servants. But then maybe not. Isreal still has leash around his neck for now, unless Trump bins isreal altogether which i doubt very much at all.
No i think more attempts on him and his followers will be the go to, rather than fleeing. These people make feral ghouls in fallout look sane, well-adjusted, educated individuals, just a bit on the skinny side.
Hopefully they fuck off to some awful dimension akin to the nether, hell, lake of fire, Dark underworld, 9 circles of hell, Tartarus, Kuzimu, The hells of the forgotten realm, the deadlights, the void, the abyss, liminal spaces (None of the good ones either).
It's a photo of a family that has been artificially constructed, a family which truly is mentally ill and rotten to the core.
These people dislike and mistrust each other intensely, but somehow they are able to conjure up a convincing but false image of harmony.
The recipe for the watery glue that can barely bind this bunch of power hungry usurpers together, comprises of a number of ingredients, among which are: Globalist ideology, Russophobia, European "superiority" and European "global relevance".
These are all then slowly stirred and cooked with the addition of massively inflated personal ego's.
However! Soon after Trump pulls the plug on NATO, the paper- thin veneer of European "civility" will quickly melt away, only to reveal rabid in-fighting.
Institutional rot, in combination with a desperate need for self-preservation, will cause the rats to turn on each other.
Over-night dissolution of EU unity will occur, and in turn, initiate collapse from within.
Most of Europe outside the big cities is fine and the people are still sane. There's far more resistance than you Yanks think. We're definitely in for tough times and will probably be the big loser out of this fiasco (apart from Ukraine itself). However, it will be the end of the EU and hopefully Nato too.
I normally like cheetos but the male anatomy size talk, is that a guy thing? As a mature female, this is not an issue. Ever. Only one thing matters to women, kind gentlemen, it's about its durable strength. 🤣
he he, my so-called 'maturity' was not in charge of my internal, pesky TroubleMaker! I'm considering a delete, out of respect for cheetos, but he hasn't made comment so I might just let it ride. What say you?
". . . is that a guy thing?" From years of gym changing rooms, prison shower rooms (in my younger days), I've found it's usually a 'lying' guy thing. Mostly exaggerating. I've always found that it's only one part of the whole There's other parts that work (including the brain). Now I didn't start this - blame the SpringCheetos guy . . . . . didn't realise they were seasonal . . .thought Cheetos were year round Toxic Waste disguised as food. ;-)
he meant no harm and often a delightful commenter. I confessed to allowing my internal troublemaker to control my words. yes, cheetos, I believe they are the factory-made orange toxic waste pieces for which americans have convinced themselves are actually food. 😉
Didn't see your 'reply' Soujourner, hence my tardy comeback . . . . pls forgive me
There is an AWFUL lot of 'Toxic Waste' that your average American (in fact your average Wa$terner™, particularly the younger ones) views as food. I think Bobby Kennedy has his work cut out for him. That said, there's beginning to be a growing awareness of just how bad things are & that alternatives are available.
I can certainly freely type that much that quickly after reading Simp's article; in fact I think the length of my reply was double his, if not nearly triple and I think Cheetos posted like 5 minutes before I did.
Comment ambushing, where users piggyback on bigger accounts, has become an annoying practice. Aside from the usual suspects who are everywhere, newcomers are joining in, polluting the forums with their need to be heard while screaming on the shoulders of these established accounts. I’ve started avoiding comments because of this nonsense.
Cry me a river? Oh, spare me your crocodile tears, fallen genius.
Gestapo? Did your paranoia concoct a Peilempfänger that is trying to catch your noble ‘buzz-click-whirr’ as you’re desperately seeking attention in comment sections? I’m not policing anyone—I’m just sick of wading through the sewage of attention-starved nobodies hijacking threads with their whining.
Gestapo? Nice try, but you’re the one goose-stepping around with that brain-dead hyperbole. If pointing out a plague of comment leeches sounds like Gestapo, then you’re the poster boy for the whining freeloaders I’m dodging.
There is a very good, independent Italian political commentator by the name of Laura Ruggieri (publishes on many "alt" websites), who refers to these hapless Eurocrats as "EUnuchs." This fits very nicely with your own metaphors and is even more absolute.
If UK's Stomer was smart it would generate an AI video showing Putin burning a Koran. Then it could recruit all of the illegal Muslims in the UK and send them off to fight for Ukraine. But Stormer ain't too bright, is it?
Not that it would even work anyway since Putin's support for a genuine multireligious society (not the reverse-colonized hellhole that is the UK) has been slathered over the media to try and smear him.
I was totally apolitical before this war, I didn't even pay attention then, I checked this nonsense only recently. They don't ever deviate from the jerk the public protocols - incubators, churned babies, babies raped with teaspoons - who cares if Denisova got fired for her lies, since even Italian MSM couldn't stomach such garbage, the catchy timelines stick in memory, even if there was nothing underneath...
IIRC, what sank Denisova was when various western NGOs and do-gooders heard of the horrific crimes perpetrated by the evil Russian barbarians and wanted to help the poor dears. Turned out that Denisova couldn't produce any victims, so she had to go.
Doesn't matter. Plenty of people recite the litanies of alleged atrocities all the same.
You'd be amazed how many people still think that Iraq was on the verge of developing The Bomb, Saddam's top weapons scientist defected and told us everything....(look up "Curveball", if you don't already know the story).
For that matter, look up Lord Posonby's Ten Rules of Wartime Propaganda. Humans are infinitely gullible.
I think at this day/age, one needs to make an effort to be that gullible. My state is forever Democrats, but their was a young Rep candidate to replace a Senator who was in DC for nearly 30 yrs. This young rep's hubby was in Iraq, and a wretched suicide bomber detonated his bomb, and he lost his eyesight forever. DoD tried to write him off, still a young man, so she fought for him to get a trainer/teacher job. Sounded ok. But she just went with the drill - "my husband defended democracy in Iraq" - She lost, and I wondered what could happened if she just told the truth; her husband was sent to Iraq, where he shouldn't be & when he lost his eyesight there, DoD tried to write him off, and she fought for him not to perish into nothingness, and just as hard she would fight for the people of her state."
Europe, or the EU, will leverage this to float Euro-bonds and launch a pan-European army. This is the first European empire in 1,000 years, ruling over 23 countries. It has little to do with Russia or Ukraine, which the do not care about. But rather launching the E.U. As a civilization-state to compete with USA, Russia, and China. 800 million people, one government. Yes, chaotic, ineffective, illegitimate- but they will cancel, censure, propagandize, arrest, imprison, and even kill to take this step. And if a few thousand multi-European troops have to die under Russian artillery to justify “Russia bad” and “defending democracy” the union of Europe and subjugation of 23 nations will justify it.
You make a great point that building a European Empire is probably on their minds. But I have strong doubts they'll pull it off.
First off, who will buy the debt they need to finance this mighty empire? The US Treasury is selling their 10 year Treasury notes at 4.625% and maturing bonds are currently yielding less than that. People are selling their Treasuries because no one wants bonds when inflation is rampant. So at what rate would Europe have to offer its own bonds in order to attract customers? A rate that is unsustainable, dragging Europe further into the hole. That doesn't mean they won't try it though.
The Euro is the #2 World Reserve Currency with a flat +/- 20% share over the last decade. The USD share has gradually declined, from 65.5% to 57.4%, with modest gains by China, Japan, Australia and Canada.
If the US seriously wants manufacturing to return home it will encourage other countries to take on more of the World Reserve Currency role. Industry will not return without a basket of incentives, including a weaker dollar.
We will have to wait to see how the contradictory strategies announced by the Trump Admin play out.
Your timing is off. The EU attempted this already and is now on the way out, desperately grasping for anything to hold on to in order to slow or stop the inevitable.
They missed their chance - if they ever had one to start.
The EU is a creation of the CIA. Here is what the biased and fact-hiding AI has to say:
The claim that the CIA "created" the European Union (EU) is an oversimplification of historical events. While the United States, including its intelligence agencies, played a role in supporting European integration during the post-World War II period, this involvement was part of broader geopolitical strategies rather than direct creation or control of the EU.
### Key Points:
1. **U.S. Support for European Integration**:
- In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the U.S. actively supported European integration to stabilize the region economically and politically after World War II and to counter Soviet influence during the Cold War[1][2][3].
- The American Committee for a United Europe (ACUE), chaired by former OSS head William J. Donovan, was a key organization in promoting European federalism. Declassified documents reveal that ACUE provided significant funding to pro-European movements, including 53.5% of the European Movement's funds in 1958[2][3].
2. **CIA Involvement**:
- The CIA, through ACUE and other channels, worked covertly to support initiatives like the creation of a European Parliament and other integration efforts[2][3]. This was seen as a way to ensure a strong, united Western Europe aligned with U.S. interests.
3. **Role of European Leaders**:
- European leaders like Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman were instrumental in founding what would become the EU, starting with institutions like the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951. While Monnet had ties to U.S. officials and received support, he and other Europeans were driving forces behind integration efforts[4][6].
4. **Cold War Context**:
- U.S. involvement in European integration was primarily motivated by Cold War dynamics. A unified Europe was seen as a bulwark against Soviet expansion and a way to promote economic recovery under the Marshall Plan[5].
### Conclusion:
The CIA and other U.S. entities played a supportive role in fostering European unity but did not "create" the EU. The foundation of the EU was primarily driven by European leaders seeking peace and economic cooperation after World War II. U.S. actions were part of broader Cold War strategies rather than direct control over Europe's political future.
based and fact hiding indeed. There is no other logical explanation of the current extreme weak political establishment: it has been groomed by media and NGO's supported by the USA (through the CIA and other organizations). It has never been organic.
'It has never been organic' < this is the main point. although creating the horrific Euro seems to indicate there is some sort of union, there isn't and this will come more and more apparent. we liked our own currencies, we liked our own quaint city centers. both NATO and the manufactured EU will slowly but surely implode because it has no base.
A pan-European Empire with a stridently anti-European ethos, given its core tenet of replacing the native European populace with third-world immigrants as rapidly as possible? A perplexing combination indeed. It seems this so-called European Empire's concept of a 'European Empire' would be purely geographic, not ethnic, and would certainly not be an empire dedicated in preserving the continent's historic cultural achievements, given that actively holds so many of them, like its native populace, in contempt (indeed, the historic European legacy in question is already valued and preserved far more reverently by numerous nations outside the EU - nations this 'empire' would view as bitter enemies). Whether what you mention is a likely outcome in reality or not, I don't doubt many of the odious 'elites' pictured in the London summit in this article do dream of such a thing, inasmuch as it would given them a more direct platform from which to pursue their agenda.
Well put. And remember these are the very people that have taken over UK and European states and colonised them for the globalists. That is to say they have sold out their own countries and allowed the fabric of their cultures to be picked apart, insidiously, bit by bit.
The strongest suit they have is really clever advertising and public relations smart arses that now run mainstream media. Could they convince enough of their citizen's to fight for their gold? Their advantage in bullshit helps, but it is shallow when compared to the actual material circumstances their citizens can see in front of them. These ghouls think they can ask the very people who's lives and cultures they've ruined to go out and die for them. Can't resist posting this famous prose from Marat:
"Don’t be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there’s no poverty to be seen because poverty’s hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you; and even if it seems that you never had so much; that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don’t be taken in when they pat you paternally on the shoulder and say there’s no equality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight; because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and their granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they’ll send you out to protect their gold in wars who’s weapons’ rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can, with a flick of their fingers, tear a million of you to pieces."
Jean Paul Marat (1743 – 1793)
I pray a chance will come to get these rotten bastards and string them up from every available lamppost.
They are but, don't do much about it as individualism has been promoted to prevent larger groups to emerge in protest. Now most are afraid to expose themselves as they don't know if they will be backed-up or helped by others. The ones exposing themselves are easy target for the system and after they have given an example, even fewer people will stand up. Without income, a job, it will be very difficult to support the family in the way we are used to. Not a very attractive proposition.
This is the Game of Threats and it’s as old as the hills. Yes they can single out one or several people, or in some cases manufacture them. Hold them against the wall, beat them and make them bleed. “SEE?! See what happens when you disobey?!” The catch is that when people have very little to loose this leverage decreases drastically. So to the unelected technocrats I say this: go ahead and create a set of examples, but do be careful just how many become destitute as a result because before you know they could be on your very doorstep.
The hatred for the EU in the rural areas of Spain is approaching the threshold for "armed rebellion," or so I hear from my friends in Spain. Of course, this is a small sample size. Anyone in rural Spain care to confirm?
Where did he say that the people want to fight? On the contrary, he clearly said that this is essentially a group of unelected, rogue leaders who'll force what they want over the will of the people. Just add the word "draft" into this sentence that he wrote: "but they will cancel, censure, propagandize, arrest, imprison, and even kill to take this step."
Nailed it in one. EU involvement in Ukraine had nothing to do with "saving democracy" but everything to do with creating at last the European Super state that the EU always intended itself to be. The problem was that all this could only work by piggybacking the US. Now Trump has so wisely pulled the rug from under the Euroweenies, they've been left high and dry. But like all good psychopaths, retreat is not an option. Instead they will double down and it will lead to the end of their megalomanic dreams. This is going to be fun to watch for anyone who hates the Deep State
You are witnessing the rise of the big gay fourth reich, which will eventually find itself in a civil war as the forces that seek to turn it into a caliphate attack it from within.
Unfortunately my ostensible leader who has already kind of, maybe, announced his resignation insists on giving my tax dollars to piano d#ck man while flying to Europe on my tax dollars.
Fuck off, will you.

Did you see the old film The Whicker Man. I hope Starmer gets put in one of them.
Agree. It was obvious already in 2016. Good to hear him, Trump, say it loud and clear.
I also think he wouldn't have lost the 2020 elections, that resulted in the neocons taking over (again) foreign policy.

I'd be more scared to go to Britain or Germany right now than anywhere.

I’m not policing anyone—I’m just sick of wading through the sewage of attention-starved nobodies hijacking threads with their whining.
Gestapo? Nice try, but you’re the one goose-stepping around with that brain-dead hyperbole. If pointing out a plague of comment leeches sounds like Gestapo, then you’re the poster boy for the whining freeloaders I’m dodging.
Too much emotion, Cesare. I'm just defending Cheetos. He writes a lot of good stuff and you whine about irrelevant things. Live and let live, man.
Cheetos craves attention and whilst smart, hasn't the gonads or depth of knowledge to do other than hang on the coat-tails of those who have both
I enjoy Cheetos comments and find them consistently informative, funny and insightful.
Dems clutched pearls over Trump's locker room talk, but these same people want trannies to talk about their parts to all of us, even little kids.
In rare form tonight, Cheeto, rare form :)
Cheetos - not only prolific, but FAST.
Reminds me of the bigger prick foreign policy schtick by G. Carlin:

There is a very good, independent Italian political commentator by the name of Laura Ruggieri (publishes on many "alt" websites), who refers to these hapless Eurocrats as "EUnuchs." This fits very nicely with your own metaphors and is even more absolute.
Eunuches would be far more reasonable. The EU cretins are certainly involved in degrading sexual practices. Which also makes them easy to manipulate.
Funny never made the connection so neat. Talk about dirty tricks.
If UK's Stomer was smart it would generate an AI video showing Putin burning a Koran. Then it could recruit all of the illegal Muslims in the UK and send them off to fight for Ukraine. But Stormer ain't too bright, is it?
Not that it would even work anyway since Putin's support for a genuine multireligious society (not the reverse-colonized hellhole that is the UK) has been slathered over the media to try and smear him.
While Russia is as multicultural a society as is found anywhere, good luck convincing the average frustrated westerner otherwise.
:P
The Muslims would simply riot about Stasi Starmer not sending all the actual Brits off to fight Russia.
They wouldn't be volunteering themselves.
In Russia, burning The Quran is illegal, I'm sure Muslims won't fall for it.
I dunno, we were duly assured that invading Iraq would make it possible for girls to go to school.
The fact that Iraq under Saddam was a secular country, with women in government posts, never entered into the minds of most westerners.
And there were Christians in the government during Sadam Hussein's rule.
Tariq Aziz being a prominent example.
I am waiting for "shocking footage of new Russian atrocities ZOMG" in 5..4..3..2..1.
Eitehr that or Zelenskii gets a puppy.
Zelensky gets a puppy and Putin steals or kills it.
That dog will get wall-to-wall news coverage.
Remember The Great Kuwaiti Baby Incubator Hoax?
I was totally apolitical before this war, I didn't even pay attention then, I checked this nonsense only recently. They don't ever deviate from the jerk the public protocols - incubators, churned babies, babies raped with teaspoons - who cares if Denisova got fired for her lies, since even Italian MSM couldn't stomach such garbage, the catchy timelines stick in memory, even if there was nothing underneath...
IIRC, what sank Denisova was when various western NGOs and do-gooders heard of the horrific crimes perpetrated by the evil Russian barbarians and wanted to help the poor dears. Turned out that Denisova couldn't produce any victims, so she had to go.
Doesn't matter. Plenty of people recite the litanies of alleged atrocities all the same.
You'd be amazed how many people still think that Iraq was on the verge of developing The Bomb, Saddam's top weapons scientist defected and told us everything....(look up "Curveball", if you don't already know the story).
For that matter, look up Lord Posonby's Ten Rules of Wartime Propaganda. Humans are infinitely gullible.
I think at this day/age, one needs to make an effort to be that gullible. My state is forever Democrats, but their was a young Rep candidate to replace a Senator who was in DC for nearly 30 yrs. This young rep's hubby was in Iraq, and a wretched suicide bomber detonated his bomb, and he lost his eyesight forever. DoD tried to write him off, still a young man, so she fought for him to get a trainer/teacher job. Sounded ok. But she just went with the drill - "my husband defended democracy in Iraq" - She lost, and I wondered what could happened if she just told the truth; her husband was sent to Iraq, where he shouldn't be & when he lost his eyesight there, DoD tried to write him off, and she fought for him not to perish into nothingness, and just as hard she would fight for the people of her state."
Europe, or the EU, will leverage this to float Euro-bonds and launch a pan-European army. This is the first European empire in 1,000 years, ruling over 23 countries. It has little to do with Russia or Ukraine, which the do not care about. But rather launching the E.U. As a civilization-state to compete with USA, Russia, and China. 800 million people, one government. Yes, chaotic, ineffective, illegitimate- but they will cancel, censure, propagandize, arrest, imprison, and even kill to take this step. And if a few thousand multi-European troops have to die under Russian artillery to justify “Russia bad” and “defending democracy” the union of Europe and subjugation of 23 nations will justify it.

Prophetic indeed!
Yep
Tower of Babel
Isn't EU population more like 500 million or so?
750,000+
With or without Ukrainians?
Doesn’t matter, most are still in Europe wether in jukraine or not.
It was sarcasm :-)
Oh, lol
Ukrainians are on the endangered species list now.
450
450 million in the EU, 750 million for Europe (which includes Russia)
Yes, if you counting the African and Middle Eastern asylum-seekers.
You make a great point that building a European Empire is probably on their minds. But I have strong doubts they'll pull it off.
First off, who will buy the debt they need to finance this mighty empire? The US Treasury is selling their 10 year Treasury notes at 4.625% and maturing bonds are currently yielding less than that. People are selling their Treasuries because no one wants bonds when inflation is rampant. So at what rate would Europe have to offer its own bonds in order to attract customers? A rate that is unsustainable, dragging Europe further into the hole. That doesn't mean they won't try it though.
The Euro is the #2 World Reserve Currency with a flat +/- 20% share over the last decade. The USD share has gradually declined, from 65.5% to 57.4%, with modest gains by China, Japan, Australia and Canada.

If the US seriously wants manufacturing to return home it will encourage other countries to take on more of the World Reserve Currency role. Industry will not return without a basket of incentives, including a weaker dollar.
We will have to wait to see how the contradictory strategies announced by the Trump Admin play out.
The Euro makes Bitcoin seem like gold sovereigns.
Your timing is off. The EU attempted this already and is now on the way out, desperately grasping for anything to hold on to in order to slow or stop the inevitable.
They missed their chance - if they ever had one to start.
Yes, June 22, 1941.
The EU is a creation of the CIA. Here is what the biased and fact-hiding AI has to say:
The claim that the CIA "created" the European Union (EU) is an oversimplification of historical events. While the United States, including its intelligence agencies, played a role in supporting European integration during the post-World War II period, this involvement was part of broader geopolitical strategies rather than direct creation or control of the EU.
### Key Points:
1. **U.S. Support for European Integration**:
- In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the U.S. actively supported European integration to stabilize the region economically and politically after World War II and to counter Soviet influence during the Cold War[1][2][3].
- The American Committee for a United Europe (ACUE), chaired by former OSS head William J. Donovan, was a key organization in promoting European federalism. Declassified documents reveal that ACUE provided significant funding to pro-European movements, including 53.5% of the European Movement's funds in 1958[2][3].
2. **CIA Involvement**:
- The CIA, through ACUE and other channels, worked covertly to support initiatives like the creation of a European Parliament and other integration efforts[2][3]. This was seen as a way to ensure a strong, united Western Europe aligned with U.S. interests.
3. **Role of European Leaders**:
- European leaders like Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman were instrumental in founding what would become the EU, starting with institutions like the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951. While Monnet had ties to U.S. officials and received support, he and other Europeans were driving forces behind integration efforts[4][6].
4. **Cold War Context**:
- U.S. involvement in European integration was primarily motivated by Cold War dynamics. A unified Europe was seen as a bulwark against Soviet expansion and a way to promote economic recovery under the Marshall Plan[5].
### Conclusion:
The CIA and other U.S. entities played a supportive role in fostering European unity but did not "create" the EU. The foundation of the EU was primarily driven by European leaders seeking peace and economic cooperation after World War II. U.S. actions were part of broader Cold War strategies rather than direct control over Europe's political future.

based and fact hiding indeed. There is no other logical explanation of the current extreme weak political establishment: it has been groomed by media and NGO's supported by the USA (through the CIA and other organizations). It has never been organic.
'It has never been organic' < this is the main point. although creating the horrific Euro seems to indicate there is some sort of union, there isn't and this will come more and more apparent. we liked our own currencies, we liked our own quaint city centers. both NATO and the manufactured EU will slowly but surely implode because it has no base.
I love it how even the “smartest” entities can be made to reveal their true colors with just a simple workaround. Nicely done.
EU lacks the primary necessity for a civilization state - civilization.
Not even the Roman Empire could hold together without various parts rocketing away in different directions.
There was a civilization state there not long ago - Yugoslavia. It didn't work very well, did it?
I could perhaps see the Nordics get together since they're by nature sufficiently cool headed to look in the same direction. But that's not much.
Under Tito, Yugoslavia did quite well as I understood from an older lady from Bosnia who came as a refugee to our country in the 90-ties.
Of course, there is no politician of Tito's caliber anywhere to be seen in "Europe."
no-one had the right, for whatever reason, to bomb Yugoslavia to smithereens (ht Madeline Albright).
The Roman Empire survived in Constantinople long after Rome itself fell to the barbarians.
A pan-European Empire with a stridently anti-European ethos, given its core tenet of replacing the native European populace with third-world immigrants as rapidly as possible? A perplexing combination indeed. It seems this so-called European Empire's concept of a 'European Empire' would be purely geographic, not ethnic, and would certainly not be an empire dedicated in preserving the continent's historic cultural achievements, given that actively holds so many of them, like its native populace, in contempt (indeed, the historic European legacy in question is already valued and preserved far more reverently by numerous nations outside the EU - nations this 'empire' would view as bitter enemies). Whether what you mention is a likely outcome in reality or not, I don't doubt many of the odious 'elites' pictured in the London summit in this article do dream of such a thing, inasmuch as it would given them a more direct platform from which to pursue their agenda.
London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and more, all Islamic strongholds now. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING 'European' about them.
Very true, once they start talking about potentially using Sharia Law for things like divorce, it is over.

That's a very interesting article. Long, but worth a read. I disagree with a few points, but a quality piece overall.
Well put. And remember these are the very people that have taken over UK and European states and colonised them for the globalists. That is to say they have sold out their own countries and allowed the fabric of their cultures to be picked apart, insidiously, bit by bit.
The strongest suit they have is really clever advertising and public relations smart arses that now run mainstream media. Could they convince enough of their citizen's to fight for their gold? Their advantage in bullshit helps, but it is shallow when compared to the actual material circumstances their citizens can see in front of them. These ghouls think they can ask the very people who's lives and cultures they've ruined to go out and die for them. Can't resist posting this famous prose from Marat:
"Don’t be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there’s no poverty to be seen because poverty’s hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you; and even if it seems that you never had so much; that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don’t be taken in when they pat you paternally on the shoulder and say there’s no equality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight; because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and their granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they’ll send you out to protect their gold in wars who’s weapons’ rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can, with a flick of their fingers, tear a million of you to pieces."
Jean Paul Marat (1743 – 1793)
I pray a chance will come to get these rotten bastards and string them up from every available lamppost.
Well they certainly do seem to have an emerging army of flying monkeys..
Not gonna happen, Europe's countries are too divided and local population are sick of EU policies and unelected bureaucrats.
They are but, don't do much about it as individualism has been promoted to prevent larger groups to emerge in protest. Now most are afraid to expose themselves as they don't know if they will be backed-up or helped by others. The ones exposing themselves are easy target for the system and after they have given an example, even fewer people will stand up. Without income, a job, it will be very difficult to support the family in the way we are used to. Not a very attractive proposition.
This is the Game of Threats and it’s as old as the hills. Yes they can single out one or several people, or in some cases manufacture them. Hold them against the wall, beat them and make them bleed. “SEE?! See what happens when you disobey?!” The catch is that when people have very little to loose this leverage decreases drastically. So to the unelected technocrats I say this: go ahead and create a set of examples, but do be careful just how many become destitute as a result because before you know they could be on your very doorstep.
and rightly so
The hatred for the EU in the rural areas of Spain is approaching the threshold for "armed rebellion," or so I hear from my friends in Spain. Of course, this is a small sample size. Anyone in rural Spain care to confirm?
Pure nonsense. Look at that map Simplicius posted: "Would you fight for your country?"
Nobody wants to fight for their own countries. What makes you think somebody will fight for the EU or for a European army?
The foreign invaders won't fight for the EU either, if 'that's what you mean'. They've got other things on their mind.
It's quite astonishing that this post has so many likes.
Where did he say that the people want to fight? On the contrary, he clearly said that this is essentially a group of unelected, rogue leaders who'll force what they want over the will of the people. Just add the word "draft" into this sentence that he wrote: "but they will cancel, censure, propagandize, arrest, imprison, and even kill to take this step."
His post would be even more nonsensical if he wouldn't imply that 'people want to fight'.
Do you think that you must become a soldier and go to the front when you're 'drafted'?
Hermann Goering had some practical insight into this subject.
What makes you think somebody will fight for the EU or for a European army?
Indeed. Let's hope that in fact they do fight, but against these ghouls, overthrow them and string them up.
Mercinary armies are a tale as old as time. If you pay them, they will come.
Yes, agree! I would not perhaps go so far as to talk about the birth of a civilisation-state, but for the rest, it is exactly what I wrote about here:

Nailed it in one. EU involvement in Ukraine had nothing to do with "saving democracy" but everything to do with creating at last the European Super state that the EU always intended itself to be. The problem was that all this could only work by piggybacking the US. Now Trump has so wisely pulled the rug from under the Euroweenies, they've been left high and dry. But like all good psychopaths, retreat is not an option. Instead they will double down and it will lead to the end of their megalomanic dreams. This is going to be fun to watch for anyone who hates the Deep State
Well, Oregonian, first you would have to agree on capital, headquarters. Is it Berlin? If not, why?
It obviously cannot be London, Britain exited EU, and EU is still alive, not well, but still breathing.
It cannot be Paris.
It cannot be Rome, Madrid.
It cannot be Warsaw
It is either Brussels, ineffective EU
or Berlin a new European superstate.
If Europeans accept Berlin as future capital, and Germans accept the burden of being the foundation
You are witnessing the rise of the big gay fourth reich, which will eventually find itself in a civil war as the forces that seek to turn it into a caliphate attack it from within.
The US' yapdogs are desperately scrambling for their master to save them
And Trump is looking down and saying, "no".

Unfortunately my ostensible leader who has already kind of, maybe, announced his resignation insists on giving my tax dollars to piano d#ck man while flying to Europe on my tax dollars.
